Great job!

I would rate it 10/10 if the truck bed were 6 inches longer and the back seats were more comfortable. It drives smoothly, with no engine problems. Everyone I know loves this car. Great job!

Hyundai Santa Cruz

Overall, a good truck. MPG pretty good, but not as good as Maverick. Rear shocks needed replacing after one year. In year two I think they are going to need to be replaced again. Only have 15,300 miles on the truck. I wish it had a trip odometer like the 2018 Buick Encore (trip A & trip B). I wish it had driver side auto window down. I really like the Blue Stone color. I wish it had a USB port in the backseat area.

Rear Suspension

Great vehicle but have issues with leaking tonneau cover and bumping noise coming from rear suspension. Have appointment with Southern Hyundai to check these issues.

Good truck for my needs

The truck has been really good with one exception. The gears don't shift properly. The engine revs to high before it can change gears.

Fun to drive

I have a few complaints but the positive far out weighs the negative. Using a car wash, the rear tail lights get condensation. Took it to the dealer and there is an acceptable amount of moisture allowed....I dont agree. If the vehicle gets frost on it the forward camera gets a fault that shows up on my display. I discovered that even after defrosting the windshield, there will still be moisture in the top center of the windshield and I assume thats where the camera is. By the time I drive home from work(25 minutes) the moisture is gone and the fault goes away. The engine is very responsive, it handles great and I love to drive it. I have hauled more than I thought I could with this mini truck.

Great car and great value with an incredible warranty

I’ve owned my 2024 Santa Cruz Night Edition for two years and love it. No issues whatsoever thus far at 28, 000 miles. I think it’s a lot of bang for the buck. It has all the bells and whistles for a lot less than other cars equally equipped . And best of all it’s an incredible warranty just for piece of mind should something happen. Recommend getting a Santa Cruz, especially the higher end trims with the Turbo Engine cause it does make a difference. The highest end Santa Cruz model is where other similar cars base models start!

Quality vehicle overall

Excellent experience so far at 8,000 miles. Only issue I've had was the front drivers side fender and front door were rubbing together on delivery when opening and closing door. Steering recall was performed on my Santa Cruz in the first year, but I am pleased responsibility was taken and the issue was resolved.

My 2024 vehicle has been leaking mass amount of oil and has been "fixed" by the dealership multiple times !! Low oil light came on while traveling 10 hours on vacation 😩

Great trucket

All I need in a small trucket. Plenty of power, feels very close to my Ram 5.7 hemi but with twice the gas mileage. Miss the throaty exhaust of my Ram but I can live with the quietness.

Rear suspension

No issues except for the rear suspension making a “clonking” noise, signaling that it’s gone bad. Dealership has not fixed it, because they state that there is nothing wrong with the rear suspension.
